GREAT SENSATION
Created IN Mexico b, Astounding Reve.
Iations in regard to the Conduct of EN-.
perOr Maxmillian ON the Surrender of
the City of Queretaro.

MEXICO, Aug. 81.
A great sensation was created today bya
leading article in the Monitor, republican,
giving an astounding revelation of the con-
duct of Emperor Macmillan on the surren-
der of the city of Queretaro.
For weeks past there has been most acri.
monious controversy in the papers regarding
the assumed treachery OF the Imperialist
General Lopez in surreDdering the convent
La Cruz key to Queretaro during the seige.
The clerical press held Lopez up to execra.
ton as traitor to the emperor and the cause
finally. This. presumably authorized, was
made to vindicate Lopez.
The writer in the Monitor says that he
knows for certain thst Gen. Escobedo pre-
sented, two months ago, a report to the gov
ernmeDt in regard to the manner in which
Gu retaro was taken.
The statement shows that Macmillan Of
fered. himself. to deliver the garrison,
through Lopez, STIMULATING only that he and
MACMILLAN and his officers be allowed to de-
part unmolested
Macmillan offered to sign an abdication
and go to Vera Cruz or Truxpan where a
ship would take him, and would engage never
again to meddle in affairs in Mexico.
Gen. Escobedo replied that he could make
no such terms.
hOptE utClhTtu tflHt et was autnOT-
lied to make the best terms with Escobedo as
ne could in the name of his chief. He in
formed Escobedo that the Republican army
might occupy the convent La Cruz at three
o'clock the following forenoon without en-.
countering any resistance, and that Maxmil-
lia1 in person would surrender himself un-
conditionslly. Accordingly Lopez was seized
without resistance, but Macmillan would not
comply with his promise to surrender on that
spot.
Queretaro was then occupied after some
Intellectual resistance and the imperialist
leaders made prisoners. Gen. Escobado
declares that Topaz WAS no traitor. He did
not receive one cent and made no stipulation
even as to his own safety. The follow ing
letter is published in support of these
revelations:
My DEAR Col. LoPAz-We recommend
you to observe the profound secrecy regarding
the commission to Gen Escobado which we
entrusted you, for if divulged our honor will
be stained.
Yours afectionately,
MACMILLAN
May l8, l847.
The Monitor says that by stirring up
the matter the clerical party compelled Gen.
Escoba to make revelations which not only
vindieate Lopez but utterly destroy all claims
which Macmillan might have had on the
respect and honor of pusterity,

LIvERMoRE FALLS, Aug 81.
Campmeetlug John Allen died very sud.
denly Wednesday afternoon at five O'Clock,
at the East Livermore camp grounds, while
attending his 376;h campmee,ing, at the age
of 92. The funeral will occur at the grounds
Friday afternoon.
FARMINGToS, Aug. 81.
This community was greatly shocked this
evening on the receipt of telegram BY Rev.
Geo. E. Ferry from Rev, G.. Bisbee, dated
East Livermore camp ground, announcing
that Rev. John Allen, commonly known as
Campmeeting John Allen, died on the grounds
at FIVE o'clock this afternoon.
He had been attending the campmeetirg
now IN session there, it being the 376th that
he had attended. Last evening he preache
a sermon which greatly exhausted him, so
that he was quite sick this forenoon. But be
rallied this afternoon and sat up in chair
conversing with friends apparently in his
usual health.
Mr.. Allen assisted in laying out the grounds
upon which he died, and also in organizing
the East Livermore Campmeeting Associa.
ton over 30 years ago.
Mr.. Aliens home here was burned in the
great fire last October. since which time he
had resided with daughter in Boston,. He
started from there the first of the week to at.
tend campmeeting in Massachusetts, but
the train carried him past the point, SO he
concluded to keep op to the East Livermore
meeting.
The funeral will occur on the camp ground
Friday afternoon at one o'clock.
The deceased was born March 7, 1894, in
log cabin in this town. He had but little
teen he attended the Pennington Academy
and few weeks afterward he was appren
ticed to clothier, teaching school in the
winter.
He was wild and reckless in his youth, and
while attending campmeeting for the pur.
pose of making fun, he became converted
After that campmeetings had peculiar
charm for him and he attended them far and

death
Having commenced preaching in mature
life, he wss admitted as member of the
Maine conference and stationed in different
appointments, which he successfully filled
and after long period of active work was
placed on the superanuated list.
As preacher he was original and inter
esting, as pastor, faithful and diligent. He
was ever distinguished for his wit, his oppo'
nents having reason to fear him on account
of his sharp aad ready repartee.
He served as chaplain of the Maine House
of Representatives in 1879 and 81.
He leaves two daughters, one of whom is
the mother of Lillian Norton Gowen, the not.
ed vocalist, and one son.

BosToN, Aug. 81.
A dispatch from Washington to the Post.
says that the appointment of Professor Goode
10 the nsh commission is looked upon as an
Indication that Senator German of MARYLAND.
wilf not have as much influence with the
PRESIDENT from this time forward as he has
enjoyed in the past
Mr. Gormsn had a man for this place. He
was warm supporter of the candidacy of
MAJOR Ferguson, the deputy commissioner.
ferguson is son.in law of Ex-Governor
swan OF Maryland, and he was very anxious
10 secure the promotion. He has been un.
ceasing In his efforts ever since Prof Baird
aled lie became so importunate that the
President was disgusted and German and
others were called upon to work in Fsrgu-
sons interest, and on the day before the
President selected Judge McCue to hold the
position temporarily, Ferguson's friends told
him that the office must be filled at once, as
the ten days allowed by law were about to
expire and Major Ferguson would not be re-
sponsiole for the disbursement of the funds
OF the commission unless he should be off.
cisiiy designated to act as commissioner.
ms decided the President at once He
asked assistant Secretary Thompson to ac-
cePt the temporary desigustion, but that gen.
tlemsn said he should have TO decline. AS ac
ceptance would bring too much ridicule upon
him, because he had no knowledge whatever
on scientific subjects
Judge McCue WAS out of the city at the
time, and it was partly because of this fact
that the President decided to name him for
the place. When McCue returned to WASH
ington he considered that the place was
meant for him permanently. When he heard
unoffcially that the appointment was only
temporary, he was very indignant and de-
clared that he knew better; that the Presi-
dent wovld not 'insult him" by tempotsry
appointment and that he could and would fill
the position as well ss any one else.
Monday night the President sent for Pro.
fessor Goode aud after a brief talk with him
decided that he was the best man for the po-
si'ion that could be selected. The sppoint-
ment was made shortly after noon yesterday.
An hour before that Judge McCue said he
mad not made his mind whether to accept or
dec,loe; 1t was evident from his manner that
ne intended to accept When he heard of
the subsequent action of the President he was
very much put oul, aud he declines to dis
cuss the subject st all.
Mr.. Goode has made fishes a special study
and under him the valuable work begun by
Professor Baird will doubtless be carried on
under the plan which that gentleman had laid
out.
The only persons who criticise the appoint
ment are the friends of German and Fergu-
son, who are very much disgruntled.

THE REPORT
OF the Civil Service Commission not yet
Forwarded to the President-COmmis.
sIOner Lyman Refuses to sign it.
WAsHINGroN. Aup. 81

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81.
The Star says that the report of the civil
service commission on the investigation of
the collector Of customs and postmaster at
Chicago has not yet been forwarded to the
President
The investigation was the result of charges
made against Collector Seeberger, of Chica-
go. 1t was alleged that he had dismissed
employees for the purpose of making room
for members of his own political party
Commissioners Edgerton and Lyman were
authorized to proceed to Chicago and inves-
tigate the charges, and in connection with
that labor it was decided to inquire into the
manner in which the civil service law had
been administered in the post office in that
city.
| After the return of the two commissioners
Mr.. Edgerton wrote report in which he
held that the charges had not been sustained
He took up the subject of the power of feder-
al officials under the civil service law to re-
move subordinates, maintaining that the law
imposes no restrictions that did not exist be
fore; that a superior has right to dismiss q
subordinate without giving reasons therefor,
and that it is outside the legitimate sphere of
the commission to investigate causes Of re-
| movals Mr.. Edgerton, as has been stated,
also paid bis respects to civil service leagues
in no complimentary terms.
When this report was read to Commission
er Lyman he refused to sign it, and at once
proceeded to write a report for himself, in
which he held that the collector had exceeded
his legal authority IN making, at least, one
removal that the law requires, other things
being equal, that preference shall be given
to ex Union soldiers, and that the collector
had removed an employe who was veteran,
without sufficient reasons.
| When this report was read to Mr.. Edgerton
he refused to sign il, and then Commissioner
| Oberly was called in and both reports read
to him. He then prepared report treating
all the subjects taken up by Mr.. Edgerton
but controverting the lstter's position in re-
gard to the right of removal and as to civil
service leagues. AS the testimony taken in
the investigation was submitted to Mr. Ober-
! ly, he agreed with Mr.. Lyman that the legal
| power of removal had been exceeded by the
| collector.
This report will go to the President as the
| result of the commission, 1t being signed by
Messrs Oberly and Lyman while Mr.. Edger-
ly's report completely exonerating both the
collector and the postmaster, and maintain
ing that the civil service law does not restrict
the power of removal, as well as cpndemning
civil service leagues, will be enclosed as a
minority report.
